The interesting thing is that the Repubs on the committee knew about it prior to the "leak" and did nothing but get people lined up to support Kav.
That's because they knew it was an UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR BASED ON ZERO EVIDENCE.
They knew 6 FBI investigations had already been conducted, nothing was found, and a 7th investigation - as proven - was not needed.
The GOP did not want the 7th investigation, so it was no more THEIR responsibility to ask for one than it was Kavanaugh's responsibility to ask for one!
The Democrats, who held on to the unsubstantiated rumor for 6 weeks and then went public with it without evidence are the ones who finally demanded it when they could have done so 6 weeks earlier.
Stop the BULLSHIT of trying to spin this around and try to make it as if the GOP shares any partial blame for the despicable 'Herman Cain'ing of Kavanaugh the Democrats have been caught perpetrating!
